Stiff out of the box, played with it a bit without seeing much improvement before installing the Skiff bearings. That and a touch of knife butter and now the blade swings so freely that when opening the shark lock with the closed knife held tip up from about 30 degrees this could be mistaken for an assisted opener. It's that smooth and fast. Excellent lockup with virtually no play in any direction. Acceptable construction tolerances and easy disassembly for customization. Not as ergo as the Para 3 - the corners of the oem G10 could use a little more radius and if you have larger hands measured across the knuckles this won't necessarily be the most comfortable knife you've used - but the skinny form factor allows me to carry this in the pocket of my Dickie's carpenter pants and still put my hands in my pockets. Paramilitary 2 and Giant Mouse Jagt (both otherwise excellent) are examples of folders that are a little large for comfortable EDC for me. While I'm not a big fan of spring locks for heavy duty or backcountry use this is certainly better than the axis lock and a fine medium duty EDC. And SUPER fun as a fiddler/flipper if that appeals. As equipped I'd call this a keeper.

Thanks for the detailed info! This is going on my short list! Now if I could just increase my knife budget somehow.
 
After posting my 0801's here recently without actually having carried either of them, I decided to give this blackwashed version some pocket time as I worked in the basement sheetmetal shop again, cleaning out under the last of the equipment and benches, looking for trapped moisture. I pulled a skid of sheet steel out from under the big workbench, was pleased to find it dry, and wrestled it back underneath. I'll head to my client's house tomorrow for my small installation job, then start putting things back together downstairs Friday after the dehumidifiers run for another day. Sure hasn't been a fun week since the water heater blew. 😣

Great pics. I need to pick up one of those blackwashed 0801s. That model is the classic ZT for me - beautiful lines in all the variations.
